thanks, Koraks, that’s more or less also my reasoning Nikon gave me the phone number of a private repair shop, specializing in Nikon, but the guy said that this kind of fault cannot be repaired anymore. No spare parts.

unfortunately , according to Nikon direct and a special technician they cannot repair this anymore. But if you got an address, I would really appreciate it.

thanks for all the replies. I don't think it is the fork. It's a newer model where the fork problem should have been already fixed back then. According to a technician I talked to it should be an electronic component that failed. He does not think that it is repairable…

Last Saturday out of the blue I got the opportunity to get a Nikon F100. But first, I checked its functioning and loaded a film and fired a few shots (9 or so, the roll was still in, therefore). Thinking that it was ok, I took it home. Yesterday I reached the end of the roll and therefore...

That’s for sure, Drew, but this is true to some extent for all slr with mirror slap

I would second what halfaman said: the 67 is perfectly usable handheld. It’s not stealth, not even a bit. But you don’t need a tripod. 1/30th can still give you sharp images handheld. Depends really on your posture and hand and lens.

would be nice if you would not quote me/draw conclusions incorrectly: I did not say that *it* cannot be done, but that *I* cannot find anyone who would *know*. that’s a huge difference. Thanks for the link. It is dead right now, but via archive.org it works. Seems to be a R3. That will be...

I don‘t doubt that. However, mine is not correctly calibrated anymore. I tried three different lenses, and it‘s just off.

The unfortunate thing with these cameras is that letting do a repair is financially most often not sensible

I had used myself (or given to others to use) rolls from this bulk loader in a few other cameras, and there were no scratches. It puzzles me. In the meantime I‘d put some empty old film in and just advanced it and rewound it several times to see if the scratches increased, and from just looking...

I understand. I just cannot explain why the scratches only happen with the Canonet. Could still be at random, given the small sample size of 4 rolls… The two rollers that reddesert mentioned are moving freely. The little ones in the middle near the hinge move freely as well when I move them...

Thanks for the many helpful indications where to look and for what, koraks. I once got a Nikon F80 where all frames had a tiny horizontal scratch in the middle of the frame. Never used bulk loaded rolls on that one and it only happened with that camera. Back then I thought it had to do with the...

it’s a Kaiser/AP loader. Is this also a Watson type? I know that you can only wind it when it’s closed. However, as I said: other rolls from the same loader in different cameras don’t show these scratches

It actually is bulk-loaded In order to only have 12 shots in the cassette. You think it might be the loader? However, I think I used Kodak Gold 2 years ago and a roll of Foma200, both not bulk loaded, and had similar scratches - but I’m not 100% sure about that. edit: and I did test a roll of...

thanks reddesert for the helpful reference and explanation. Lightseals got replaced. they are fine. no light leaks at all. As you can see from the picture of the scratches, they are identical on all frames. Particles floating around should produce various scratches across frames I suppose-
